The Mysteries of Max #85
Purrfect Gran
A grandmother is like a grand-angel
Lately things had been going swimmingly for us, so I should have known that it wouldn’t last. It all started when Dooley decided to feed a bird, and that bird decided it was a good idea to bring along all of his friends and family. Odelia wasn’t happy about it, but Gran immediately saw an opportunity to make some money. And then there was the brain surgeon who came to stay with us. Before long, the man was running for his life and accusing Gran of trying to murder him. I could have told him this was par for the course with Vesta kind, sweet-natured and loving. Until the gloves come off.

Nic has a background in political science and before being struck by the writing bug worked odd jobs around the world (including but not limited to massage therapist in Mexico, gardener in Italy, restaurant manager in India, and Berlitz teacher in Belgium).
When he’s not writing he enjoys curling up with a good (comic) book, watching British crime dramas, French comedies or Nancy Meyers movies, sampling pastry (apple cake!), pasta and chocolate (preferably the dark variety), twisting himself into a pretzel doing morning yoga, going for a run, and spoiling his big red tomcat Tommy.
He lives with his wife (and aforementioned cat) in a small village smack dab in the middle of absolutely nowhere and is probably writing his next ‘Mysteries of Max’ book right now.

Bird poop, scammers and an accidentally death.
This was the weirdest Max book I have read. Stewart the bird scams Dooley into allowing him and unknowingly hundreds of his family to live in Odelia's house. Harriet breaks into song and the birds leave. Gran gets Dooley and Max to talk the birds intonreturing and living in Ted's garden shed so she can collect the poop and sell it to farmers. There is so much craziness in this book. Enjoy.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get crazier…
The whole gang (plus a few new faces) is back, and they have a busy agenda, raising money for the church, taking in a (temporarily homeless) brain surgeon, dealing with an unruly and uncooperative flock of birds…there’s more, but you have to read the book!

What a crazy Max mystery!
Wow! This storyline was really weird! Although I did enjoy it. Of course, I enjoy all the books in this series! I would love to see what Nic Saint does with the 2 titles I suggested. Purrfect Haunting and Purrfect Chilli. I hope he will take them into consideration!!

Pierce t Gran,( The Mysteries of Max book 85)
Gran was really off her login in this one. The story does show how what one observes without a background story can be so misleading and scary. Fortunately the antics did not cause injury, just drove someone crazy.

death and poop
When an abusive neighbor does next door, a visiting brain surgeon catches the wife trying to hide the body. Not only that crazy Beats has deciddd that bird poop is liquid gold. Another fun filled book, not really a mystery but fun to read. Keep reading.

Well...
Well, as far as the Mysteries of Max go, this book was weird. In the previous books, I have always loved looking forward to more. That would be 84 books thus far. But there was something 'off' about this one.

Poorly written. It was obviously a ghost writer and they had zero connection with all the past books. First time that I could barely stay engaged with a Max book. The writer had no idea of the characters persona. I hope that future installments are better written than this clunker!

crazy story
I think this was one of the craziest stories so far, involving wanna-be IRS agents, birds and their poo, and disappearing gnomes.
